@jkohut GNU/Linux may not have a "killer app" but it does have a killer overall philosophy. At any moment I can find a tool to do almost whatever I need to do at little or no cost... just a download. No arguments about GNU/Linux not running ALL of the programs designed for other OS's. It doesn't. Reading this article though I had to wonder: if you can install Windows via a virtual machine to run the few mission critical apps that don't run on GNU/Linux ... shouldn't Windows be the machine you only use occasionally? This may not be true for this author but I'll bet it is true for many. In my experience it has been.
